Death and Destruction from Wildfires in The Western US




 Like every year, parts of California have turned into a burning hell with  hundreds of displaced people, polluted air, properties burned, forests, and entire cities burnt into ashes are some of the problems that this city has.

This year the proportion of fires and the amount of smoke they have generated has not only darkened the sky in much of the state, but has also caused unusual meteorological phenomena: from fiery tornadoes, to storm clouds created by smoke.



The wildfires are not only affecting Western USA, but also Western Canada. You can see the maps above and below as well.
